I think what everyone wants to know is just when is there going to be more Flatliners music... the other day I just realized that Calvacade came out in 2010 and was just like wait no.... and I knooow there has to be stuff in the works!

When might the US be treated to a Flatliners headlining tour in smaller clubs? No complaints on seeing you guys with Anti Flag or Less Than Jake but in situations like that you only get a half hour or so & I'm just getting warmed up at that point. Also, how come your speed limit is like 100 up there and only 55 here? Bullshit.

Jimmy Doyle, you rusty bag :) 100 km is only 62 miles, so there aint much of a difference. Next year at some point we'll probably do a smaller headlining club tour. It's nice supporting friends' and bigger bands though. Stress free.

It''s always weird hearing older recordings of ours. Even recordings only a couple years old, but ones we've heard a million times or worked on so much can be weird to listen to. Kind of like watching yourself take a shit or have sex.

A while ago I saw an interview with you online somewhere and the person asked you if you'd do a solo album someday. I've seen a couple recent videos of you playing some new songs acoustic by yourself. Do you have any more of an idea about whether or not a CrustCresswell solo record will happen in the near future?

As a 22 year old who is still struggling just to find people to play music with, much less start a band with: How did you start playing music at such a young age? I envy you growing up with friends with similar music tastes when you were young. Also, what would you recommend me do to actually find people to play music with? Keep in mind this is coming from someone who is shitty at meeting people.

You've gotta be open to meeting new folks and to potential failure. Or just hard work. I think I was lucky, and still am, to know these dudes I share the road with. We've grown up together and it's been a fun process. Keep your ears open.

*Cue intro music*
And now it's time for "Doin' Crimes' with your favourite host owneroperator!
The segment where we ask your favourite musician for their deepest darkest secret!

Chris, have you ever stolen something? Do you let your dog poop at the park then not pick up after it? Are you secretly killing criminals that can't be prosecuted? Or do you have anything else you'd like to admit to us, to get off your chest? Bonus points for a story to accompany the answer.

Hey man, just have to say that you guys are really great, I've seen you quite a few times (I live near Toronto) and each time it's a blast! Thanks for putting out such great tunes. Is Sallad still your merch guy?

To me, your Cavalcade was the best record of 2010. My favorite songs on it are Shithawks and He Was a Jazzman. Do you see the band's sound heading towards a harder sound like Shithawks or do you think itll be like the others like Monumental and Carry the Banner?

Chris, I recently moved to a country in the Caribbean from Italy, shortly after me and my promoter friend took you guys up that scary mountain road (remember, when we were pretty sure Paul shit himself?!), so I'm going to see you play in the US sometime soon. What's the best city you recommend and most importantly, CAN YOU PLAY PICKING AT MY FREAKING BRAIN?!

What are those things that you guys have on shoulders that make noises and songs and metal cables and strings and the things that loud sound and stuff. And is that you singing? Oh, What's a shit hawk? And why do you tour with old guys? How old is ken Yamazaki?

I was just asking out of curiosity because that sounded too good to be true. I'm kinda trying to start a band right now though, if it goes anywhere in the future, you'll be the first person I contact for designs

I'm getting another flatliners tattoo soon just because I can, and next time you come to Chicago I'll show you that and bring all of you home cooked food. And it will be a surprise ....... ha! or any other requests for the next time around, I will give great hospitality. I'm losing quality ancient history class time for this, thanks punknews.org ..........

Hi Chris, I enjoyed the gig @ fighting cocks London (crazy!) and the acoustic @ Banquite records before that. You remember my little lad at the back, Rufus?, 8 months old. Is he the youngest Flatliners fan? will you eva have any kids merch printed? I think you should :)

have you ever seen that scene from the film Rockstar where the old singer of Steel Dragon is telling Mark Wahlberg how much work it is being a singer? Yeah, that fuckin' guy was wrong. I hope that helps!

everything was ok! I ducked out to have dinner with a friend after our set last night and missed the rest of the show. good news i've got 3 more weeks on this tour to do it! bummed i couldn't make it last night.
